Recently, rumors leaked on X, saying that Xbox head Phil Spencer is about to step down.

According to reports, the console plan after Xbox Series is ready, and Spencer begs to stay until the new console is announced to the public before resigning.

But Microsoft is very dissatisfied with Spencer now. "Microsoft wants him to leave yesterday, but it is also clear that he has a loyal fan base. Game Pass is far from the number of subscription users they expected under Spencer - which makes Microsoft very angry."

It is very likely that Spencer will not last the moment when the new console is released.

This is not a foregone conclusion at the moment. Rumors say "it's just a negotiation going on behind the scenes, and it won't even happen."

This rumor is more emotional, more like a second-hand leak than a reliable source of information.Although Game Pass has indeed slowed growth in the past two years, putting Microsoft under pressure, such claims are limited in credibility until there is no authoritative media or official confirmation.A more reasonable speculation is that Microsoft may allow Spencer to continue to host until the next generation of hardware is officially announced, and then consider a smooth transition rather than "replace it immediately."

Spencer is expected to be a veteran of Xbox three dynasties
